[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is with kids who switch schools in the middle of the sequence. The kids who stay at Basis will get all the content eventually.

It is just something that parents of kids who want to move from Basis to another school need to take into consideration.

if you start in 8/7 in 5th, Algebra I in 6th, Algebra II in 7th, and Precalculus in 8th and leave for high school you have completed the sequence and thus deserve full credit for Geometry

And that their two years of World History will be wasted but the AP maybe will be good practice?[/quote]

I disagree re 'deserve.' The reality is you're transferring between two separate school districts that happen to be in the same city. And there is nothing that requires - or precludes - one to accept the credits from another.

Life isn't fair, caveat emptor and so on.

there's absolutely no reason why DCPS and charters can't coordinate on accreditation within OSSE oversight. That cuts both ways, as plenty of students move from DCPS to charters too.[/quote]

Please look up what accreditation means.

There are standards that each school must meet - it's called Common Core. But aligning curriculum beyond that is a very slippery slope.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but demonstrating proficiency, be it through testing or completion of necessary course material, should be sufficient. If universities can figure out how to credit work at other far more diverse higher education settings then a relatively small public school district can figure it out.  That's such a weak argument.[/quote]

By and large, universities have economies of scale which exceed those of Basis (the amassed personal wealth of founders aside of course - don't they sell their own course materials to all their schools for personal gain?)[/quote]
